Champaign Public Works Department announces lane closures

CHAMPAIGN - The Champaign Public Works Department has announced lane closures that will affect multiple streets beginning next week.

Officials say the first lane closure will affect the westbound lane of Kirby Avenue between First Street and Fourth Street beginning on July 13. The closure is a result of the construction of a driveway approach at Memorial Stadium, and is expected to last until July 17, weather permitting.

The second lane closure will affect Green Street between Fifth Street and Sixth Street, as crews work to install a new sign. Officials say the closure is expected to last from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on July 15, weather permitting.

Motorists are advised to use caution and slow down while traveling in these work zones.
